A display of all the superb creatures found at Escuela Bella Vista in Maracaibo Venezuela, (and previously where I taught at the American international school of Maputo Mozambique). At least once a week a child brings me some arthropod or other creature to identify, play with or admire. This blog seeks to honor those avid inquirers. Unlike the Lorax who spoke for the trees, Ispeakforthefleas! Enjoy.

Gorgeous red-lipped visitor at school today.
The red lipped herald is a non venomous, and beautiful addition to any garden, it keeps the number of frogs down and keeps your ecosystem functioning. The name "Herald" is derived from it's first being described in the Eastern cape Herald newspaper. That is, the existence of the snake was initially brought to the attention of the public in the Eastern Cape Herald newspaper.

Thanks again for the rare treat! I even held 'her' (gender identified by you in quite an unscientific manner, I might add. :-) I want one or two for my garden. Where can I get one from?
